"Because of the limited air induction capacity of the centrifugal compressor, also called the radial compressor, engines for developing thrust above 7,000 lb (31 kN) at static sea level, employ axial-flow compressors."

31 kN

In a jet engine, air is compressed by a turbine. Fuel is added to this air
and is exhausted out the other end. This gas exerts an equal reaction force,
providing forward thrust as it exits the engine. This thrust is transmitted from the engine
to an airframe and engine mountings to propel the aircraft. Thrust is measured
in pounds (lb), kilogram force (kgf), or the international unit, newtons (N).

Thrust of current jet planes is much greater than that of the first created
jet planes. The first jet fighter to fly was the HE 280 in 1941. It was designed
by Heinkel and von Ohain in Germany. Jet fighters were used against the Allied
Powers in World War II at that time. The HE 280 produced only about 3.7 kN
of thrust. Over the years, the amount of thrust produced has increased due to
technological advances. Current jet planes produce thrusts up to 44 kN.
